The Event: The Eufora family gathered in San Diego, CA on October 16-17, 2016 for their bi-annual Global Connection.

“I’m in the company of an amazing woman, Beth Bewley, and am surrounded by an amazing team,” Carreon says. “They are all so dedicated and collaborative. They will make a masterpiece one minute, then pitch in to sweep up the hair, the next.”

“Six years, ten entries, seven nominations and this is my first win,” Rockey del Bono says. “I could not be where I am without wonderful mentors. I’m so lucky, so blessed and I’m excited to see what comes next.”
Phillips and Bewley also recognized the generous contributions made by salons to the charity close to the hearts of founders Don and Beth Bewley, ChildHelp.
The Education: Eufora educators and invited speakers offered business breakouts and hands-on workshops the following day. Classes included instruction on long and short hair trends, progressive upstyling, precision cutting, creative color placement and men’s trends.
